Ted,
I realize American Lithograph printed all the cards in NY and sent them to tobacco factories. I was probably not clear enough with my words above, but that is beside the point. I don't doubt the strong likelihood that your dates are in the ballpark. From the evidence we have, those are reasonable guesses. But I just do not think the evidence is conclusive. It would be nice to find actual documentation in the form of legal papers that would clearly date the production run of the Ty Cobb brand. Beyond that, we are probably left with speculation.
